I guess that Tucker will not be attending
Link to tweet
The Fox Corporations upcoming annual shareholder meeting in Los Angeles will feature something that totally contradicts its own media outlets right-wing editorial line: vaccination passports, mask requirements, and a variety of other COVID-19 safety measures as part of Foxs health and safety protocols.
The companys blatant hypocrisy is already well-documented during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fox News has undermined the Biden administrations vaccination campaign nearly every day in a six-month period, and turned vaccine resisters into culture war heroes. At the same time, the network has practiced COVID-19 vaccine and testing requirements that are more stringent than anything mandated by the Biden administration, while also requiring masks in close quarters.
This dichotomy has played out for a quite a while, as Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch stated in a company memo on remote work that the health and safety of our workforce has remained my priority while he has also supported prime time host Tucker Carlsons anti-vaccine misinformation. (And moreover, network founder Rupert Murdoch took the vaccine early on, receiving his first dose back in December 2020.)
Indeed, a person can go through the full health and safety protocols memo line by line and demonstrate the ways that the company is not practicing any of what its news network personalities have been preaching to viewers.

means masses die and America burns.
